    I do like the format, although strangely unlike other UK quiz formats it hasn't taken off abroad, but I wish the questions were more fact based than celebrity tweets, and the contestants were less pretty and more intelligent.

    I agree re Dav's divine plump arse

    Although sad to relate, time is marching on, however much Dav tries to squeeze it
    it into tighter jeans [ akin to trying to stuff a duvet into a pillow case ] the fact is the arse is getting older, wobblier and lower.

    " unlike other UK quiz formats" - what UK quiz show formats have taken off overseas? Id really be interested to know the answer to this, and I'd suggest you research your answers before you post, just to save you looking foolish. (Heres a hint: Most of the shows you believe are 'UK' developed shows are actually foreign shows imported here)


    The whole show is aimed at a certain market. When was the last time you saw 40 year olds appear? In fact Im amazed no one has taken them down the discrimination route yet.

    Thanks, Mr Superior, but I was thinking of Millionaire and Weakest Link who have sold their formats all over the world

    Whether most UK game shows were developed here is irrelevant to the point billy was making. He specifically mentioned "UK quiz formats" so overseas ones would be excluded, you should read the post properly before posting and it would save you looking foolish.

    I like the format but the questions can verge on the ridiculous eg. which of these foods has the highest salt content...?


    And Davina isn't bad either ;)

    Gave up on it a couple of series ago. Watch a bunch of pretty, but dense, 20 year olds answering inane questions? No thanks, I'd rather spend the evening extracting my toenails with a pair of pliers.

    That's for the "Play Any Time" option. Playing along with the show is free.

    Last series had plenty of 30 + players.
